School bullying is a national crisis, but one woman thinks she found the solution?give the bully a taste of her own medicine.

On Wednesday, a Murry, Utah-based woman named Ally Olsen, 41, discovered that her fianc??s 10-year-old daughter, Kaylee, was bullying a classmate. Kaylee?s teacher had emailed Olsen, explaining that the girl had been teasing a student for the past three weeks because of how she dressed. As a result, the victim no longer wanted to come to school.

?When I received the email, I was confused because just a few weeks ago, Kaylee had received an award from her principal for stopping a bullying incident at school,? Olsen told Yahoo! Shine. ?I confronted Kaylee who explained that she had called another girl ?sleazy? for wearing Daisy Duke shorts and a tank top. We?ve taught Kaylee to dress conservatively but never expected her to be judgmental.?

Olsen said Kaylee was not apologetic so in lieu of grounding her which she felt "wouldn?t resonate? she turned to Facebook, asking friends for advice on how to handle the situation. By the next day, Olsen had a plan of action. She took her family, who regularly frequented thrift shops, to a local store, pretending it was a routine shopping trip. As Kaylee deemed various articles of clothing ?ugly? and ?embarrassing,? Olsen had her try them on as a joke, eventually telling the fourth-grader that she was purchasing the clothes for her as punishment. ?I wanted Kaylee to truly experience the embarrassing feelings she had evoked in someone else by wearing clothes she felt self-conscious in,? says Olsen. ?The goal wasn?t to select clothes that were cheap; it was to buy things that Kaylee herself said she hated.? Also, Olsen told Kaylee that she wasn?t going to force her to apologize to her classmate; her remorse had to be genuine.

Although Kaylee cried, the next day she headed to school wearing one of the outfits under a coat that she had zipped up to her neck. ?When she came home that afternoon, Kaylee said the kids laughed at her for wearing ?pajamas.? She also felt so guilty that she pulled her classmate aside and apologized for her behavior the previous day." To solidify the punishment, Olsen snapped a photo of Kaylee wearing the outfit (her face was blurred to protect her identity) and posted it on Facebook.

By then, Olsen decided that Kaylee had suffered enough?until she learned that she had gotten into another altercation with a second girl. ?When Kaylee explained how she had spoken rudely to a friend who was picking on her clothes, I decided that she needed to wear another embarrassing outfit the following day,? said Olsen. Kaylee was also made to attend her father?s soccer game wearing the clothing and posed for another photo in the outfit (her face was blurred again), which Olsen posted on Facebook. ?We wanted adults to see the example we set.?

Surprisingly, Kaylee handled her punishment gracefully. ?What people don?t understand is that Kaylee genuinely learned from this experience. :happy: She actually thanked me for making her go through that,? said Olsen. ?I?m keeping the clothes in case she is mean to other kids again. Hopefully one day, we?ll be able to laugh about it.?

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
